Once you have
finalised your
wish list, you can begin the search for your
ideal home, which will involve:
There are now many
ways of accessing information on the property market in Thailand. Of
these, the Internet is fast becoming the most popular means of finding
details and pictures of real estate for sale - particularly for people
not currently residing in Thailand.
Use our
search
feature to access properties listed on the Internet. You can select any
or all of the search criteria to narrow your search, ensuring that you
only need to view those properties that closely match your chosen criteria.
Other sources for
details on properties for sale are:
- Metropolitan
newspapers - Bangkok Post and The Nation
- Local
newspapers - Pattaya Mail, Phuket Gazette
- Real Estate
Magazines - Trader News
- Real Estate
Agents' display windows, and
- 'For Sale'
signboards on properties
One of the first
things you should do when you start looking at property listings is to
check that the general price of properties in your chosen area is within
your price range.
| Driving
around those areas that you would like to live in is
also a very good way to identify house you would be
interested in. Write down the property addresses and let
your real estate agent know what you like about these
properties, and if he has any similar properties on his
books. |
|
Instead of spending
time scanning through newspapers and classified ads, why not let the
real estate agents do some of the work for you?
| When
you approach real estate agents and let them know what
you are looking for, make sure you provide them with as
much detail as you can on what you require in a home.
Perhaps you can even provide them with a copy of your
wish
list. |
|
The more information
you can provide, the more chance there is of a Real Estate Agent being
able to match you to your ideal property. Both you and the Real Estate Agent will be spared a great deal of time by dealing only with
properties that closely match your requirements.
One of the major
advantages of telling a Real Estate Agent exactly what you are looking
for in a property, is that you are likely to hear about newly listed
properties soon after they come onto the market. As soon as a property
that meets your specific needs comes up for sale, the Real Estate Agent
will be able to match it up with your needs. This is an excellent way to
keep at the front of the queue for the good properties.
The next step is to
take
a look at your prospective properties.
